; l CHICAGO , Aug.Demoralisation of
kaah prlecs for spring wheat today was the
aource of weakness in futures. September
closed U4c lower and December declined -Tic.
Corn % 97-Bc. Oats is HO3-8o down. Pork
'
and lard gained 12 c each and ribs 67c.
Liverpool sent higher quotations for
* Wheat , but It was supposed to be a mere
1 reflection ot yesterday's advance here and
< consequently did not influence the trading
' ml the start. The shorts were evidently
snore confident that there would be more
( Wheat before the hint day of September
than the bulls would want for legitimate
purposes. The weather In the northwest
( was of the same favorable character for
1 sjecurlng the fine crop of spring wheat that
fc has generally favored the operation since
cutting commenced. Chicago received 121
i car * , whereas 85 were estimated , but a year
ago 293 cars were received. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 327 carloads , against 99 the
aimllar day of the previous week and 163
cars the correspond day of 1897. A Liv
erpool cablegram reported offerings of now
crop Russian and Danublan wheat at about
the equivalent of from 2 to 4 cents a bushel
below the present price of shipping parcels
of No. 2 Kansas hard. It was under the
Influence of such information that Septem
ber wheat opened at from C6c down to
Mi-gc and declined to 65&c inside of the
\V Vrst'half ' hour of the session. The statistics
V of the day's movement were by no means
, V all In. favor of the bears. Receipts at prl-
5 wary western markets amounted to only
it 'M8.000 bu. compared with 842.000 bu. a year
; ago. The clearances of wheat and Hour
- , ) from Atlantic ports were onual to 677,000 bu.
i and It was calculated that the vlslblo would
J how a decrease ot 1,000,000 bu. Prices at
Minneapolis and Duluth were so much
J lower agiiln today as to give an air of sin
s' ' icerlty to the statements about the proba-
< Slllty of heavily increased receipts in the
; near future. Spring wheat was especially
V .weak In the market for carloads and that ,
$ together with a reduction In the premium
' bid'for wheat for shipment , had much to
t do with the weakness that developed In the
[ . , trading for futures. September opened unchanged -
changed to Uc tower at CCCa/ecUc , declined to
- ' Hc , recovered to 65B5 7-8c , fell off to
r 4c and firmed up to C3c asked at the
' f close. December began l-8X-8c down at
! 63&63Uc , off to 62' c , up to G2 7-8c , down to
(2 3-8o and closed at 62 5-8c.
iV Perfect weather and large receipts de
pressed corn. A good many who had sold
' ' out September and replaced It with December -
: ber yesterday were indisposed to stand
> much further loss and became sellers as
aoon an weakness developed. There was a
fair demand from scalpers at the decline ,
but as the session advanced the general
. ' trade fell oft In volume and the market
* closed at the lowest point for the day. Sep
tember started 1-Sc down at 31 l-S@31 4c.
ranged from 31Uc down to 30c and closed
V at the latter figure.
Oats ruled steady on a small scalping
. trade during the first half of the session ,
but finally turned easy with corn. 8 < > ptem-
ber opened l-8c lower at 20c. rose to 20 l-8c ,
A declined to 19c and left off at 1919 7-8o
( Diked.
The execution of some heavy transactions
In lard for export strengthened the whole
revision market. Early there was some
R quldatlon and a dip In prices , but that loss
was all recovered nnd something more.
September pork opened 2c lower at $8.96.
declined to $3.92 , advanced to $9.12 % and
closed at $9.10. September lard began 5o
down at $5.05 and sold up to $5.22 % . the
' closing figure ; September ribs started. 2Hc
. - off at $5.12 % , weakened to $5.10 , firmed up

NEW YORK , Aug. ll.-The recovery
fiom yesterday's reaction In the stock
market was declare and complete before
the end of the day and the closing showed
a furiously active buying movement In
force which was absorbing all offerings at
advancing prices.
Some of these offerings were heavy as
a result of the big advance and numerous
individual blocks ot 1.009 shares and up
wards of Bt. Paul were snapped .up with
'P8rpaul'wastyste dy all dar and , ln the
last halt hour was taken .In hand and
rushed up from about 110 % to 112 1-4. The
other Grangers followed suit , though at a
less lively rate and with nowhere near so
large a volume of business. Burlington re
covered Its 1U dividend and 1-4 besides.
The earlier part of the day showed a
marked falling off In the animation of the
market and the conspicuous movements in
prices conflned entirely to the Industrial
specialties. It became evident at the openIng -
Ing that there were supporting orders in
leading stocks which offered a barrier to
further declines In them. There was In
addition a continuance of the outside de
mand for stocks ' .through commission
houses. Some of the industrials showed a
buoyant tone and nerved to sustain prices.
Although there was some realising during
the flrst hour It was so well absorbed that
the bears became discouraged and desisted
from , their efforts to break the market.
When It was -announced that the stock
exchange would be closed from today un
til Monda ) ' It became evident that the
shorts were uie ones , who felt timid about
leaving committments outstanding. The
aggressive movement in St. Paul relnaug-
urated the bull movement In full force.
Some of the sharp gains In Individual stocks
were : Lake Erie and Western , B ; Lake
Erie preferred , 7V4 : Minnesota Iron , 61-4 ;
New TTork Air Brake , 4Vi ! Pacific Coast
Improvement , 3H ; Pacific coast Improve
ment preferred , 3 ; International Paper com *
pany , 6. The rise In St. Paul was 3 1-8.
Reports by the Trade Journal tell of some
expansion of business as the termination of
the war with Spain. The expansion of the
country's currency Is strikingly manifest in
the conditions of the New York money mar
ket , where the pressure for funds from In
terior points Is already beginning. There Is
apparently nothing to meet this demand
but gold , and New York banks are ship
ping gold to the Interior for circulating
medium. The New. York money market has
responded with a hardening tendency and
the foreign exchange market with a fall In
rates. Meanwhile the Bank of England
has been strengthening Its reserves by con
tracting Its loan account In anticipation of
a call tor gold from New York and a re
sulting rise In money rates in London. An
early gold movement to New York seems
Inevitable and there is eager demand by
national banks for the new government
bonds. As fast as they can be acquired
they will undoubtedly be used for expand
ing the bank circulation. The facts make
It evident the country Is finding ample use
for the abundant Increase In its money sup-
The Evening Post's London financial ca
ifwas a blank day In the stock markets
here , the exchange being half empty in ad
vance of the holiday tomorrow. Th tone
was good , however. There was a sharp
recovery In Canadian Pacific and in Grand
Trunk. Americans opened dull , following
the New York lead , but realised on New
York support. Argentines were good on
a further drop of ft points in the gold
premium. The fall in DeBeera mines con
tinues.

CATTLE-Today's market , like that ot
esterday , presented very few changes , and
none of much importance , values for the
most part being just about steady ,
The supply of beef steers was limited
almost entirely to cornfed natives and
westerns , the average quality being better
than yesterday. Among the offerings was
one bunch of very prime stuff that sold at
S5.45 , with other good loads bringing $3.00 ®
6.23. Medium to common cattle sold from
$4.95 down to $4.40 mostly. The market
was active and the offerings all changed
hands very readily , local packers being
ee buyers.
The supply of cows and heifers was not
Jargc , only about ten or a dozen loads
being offered for sale. The market , .how
ever , was far from satisfactory. On
Wednesday the buyers sat down hard on
the cow market , as noted at the time , yes
terday they took hold and bought them a
little more freely , and today they hung
back again. Good to fancy helferlsh stuff
perhaps would have been steady , but the
medium cows were weak to 610c lower.
The feeder buyers took some of the cows ,
which helped out considerably and aided In
keeping up the market. A bunch of west
ern cows sold to a feeder at 13.20 , which
was about Be lower than the same kind
of stuff sold for yesterday. ,
There were nb western grass beef steers
here , at least none of any Importance , the
arrivals of westerns consisting entirely of
feeders and stackers. They were very good ,
however , and brought way-up prices. Some
fancy , white-faced yearlings belonging to
Bartlett Richards , and shipped from the
sandhills , brought 15.25. The 2-year-olds
sold at J4.304.50and the threes and fours
at $4.35. They were all very good In qual
ity , and the fancy job of dehorning helped
out the price. The prices paid for feeders
looked high and caused a good many to
quote the market as strong. At the same
time some were complaining that anything
common was slow. Representative sales :
slow.STEERS.

HOGS Today's hog market was steady
with yesterday morning's market , or a little
stronger than yesterday's close. The late
sales brought down the average of the
market yesterday , so that the average
today shows up a little better. Mixed
loads , rather on the light order , sold prin
cipally at $3.65 , and from that to $3.7714
for the befit mixed loads. Good heavy sold
at $3.70 , and prime at $3.75. The top , It will
bo noted , was Cc higher than yesterday ,
but there were 'no such hogs hero yester
day. The market was active at ruling
prices , and everything changed hands very
early in the morning , the demand being
considerably in excess of the supply. Hogs
sold today on an average a very little
higher than yesterday's average , but 17'/ic
lower than a week ago , and a shade lower
than two weeks ago. Today's receipts were
barely up to the average for a Friday ,
showing that the decline In values has Its
effect upon shipments. Representative
